:( Its the 11th of September here (9.00am). This thread is to show a sign of respect to all of the souls lost in the twin towers. :(
I heard that they were gonna turn the day into a holiday. And usually holiday sounds like a day to celebrate, no, this is what it means
I just posted that so no one would flame me for looking forward to it. I still also feel sorry for the twin towers and the families that were hurt by the incident and Osama needs to be executed. Even though I dont really like America that was still cruel, there are still good people in America, I just dont like the people that run the country.Quote:

Aloha nui loa
Respect and love to all those who perished in the awful events of that day, to all those who heroically worked to save them, many of whom perished themselves, to all those who lost loved ones, friends and colleagues, and to the many survivors who understandably continue to feel traumatized five years later. What a heartbreaking, life-changing day that was.
truly a gut wrenching day!!!
Im cautious deviding what is true sentiment for a terrible event from what is the same rehetoric that has made extremists of many Americans. I still remember my original and uninfluenced feelings from that day though.

But, I still remember how I felt that day. I'm half Pakistani, and I remember on that day I was called a terrorist so many times because I live in some backwater town. It sucked. I mean, I was born and raised in Chicago and people are calling me a terrorist??
Idiots. But, 9/11 was still such a sad day. Like I've said before, you don't need a good reason to feel sorrow over death, you need a good reason not to.
First bowl of the day is going out to 9/11, even though it's only 9/10 here.:o
I don't even know how to put what I feel on this matter into words. The entire experience will forever tug on my heart. May all the souls who perished rest in peace.
:( I have lit a candle.....this is a day that I am sure we will all remember for the rest of our lives.:(
God Bless all that died that horrible day.
"Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)"
Where were you when they built the ladder to heaven?
Did it make you feel like cryin'
Or did you think it was kinda gay?
Well I, for one, believe in the ladder to heaven.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...9/11.
I said 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, Ni-hi, hi-hine...
...Eleven
--South park; Alan Jackson
-.- people are still talking about this.
Its done with, get over it. It kinda pisses me off that some fags can hijack a plane and get this big of a reaction from it. Don't give them the satisfaction of glorifying it in anyway. I guess I just see them as more of punk-wannabe terrorists then anyone who has actually accomplished something worthy of having a big deal made of it.
People are still talking about this is all you can say? How about not being such a dick and feel for other people who lost family and loved ones. ANd it is a major thing and should never be forgotten.
Simply remembering the victms of the attack is something we should get over? People lost parents, siblings, friends and family, and they're not just going to forget them like that. Telling them they should just stop caring because it was 5 years ago is just insensitive and cruel.Quote:

I actually feel hurt by some of the comments that were made.....:mad:
Well I, for one, send my condolences to all of the families and all of the people who lost their loved ones that day. To me, it is something we definitely should not forget.
Heres an awesome song that Alan Jackson wrote right after the attacks. its so beautiful if u can d/l it.
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children?
Or working on some stage in LA?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of
That black smoke rising against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger
In fear for your neighbor?
Or did you just sit down and cry?
Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out with pride
For the red white and blue
And the heroes who died just doing what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is Love
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Teaching a class full of innocent children?
Or driving down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor?
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened?
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages?
Speak with some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow?
Go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent home movie you're watching
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers?
Stand in line and give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family?
Thank God you had somebody to love

My heartbreaks everytime I think about that day. Its the only day besides the birth of my kids that i can remember every detail that happened. I know exactly what i did that day and everything i felt. It still is amazing that 5 years later everytime i watch it on T.V. it feels the same all over again. I dont know if out country will ever be the same after it, but it would be nice if we could all come together and remember it on the 11th day of september!! w
my thoughts to those who died n those familys who lost them
An attack on innocent civilians is wrong not matter who does it.
That day was shocking and sickening to say the least my heart
goes out to all the people who lost loved ones on that day.
it's 9/10 here still
:confused: I'm ahead of almost all of you as far as time goes....:dance:
you know osama wasn't nesicarily involved... i don't know if he was or not cuz i don't bother following this type of shit (what happens, happens if the govt. isn't working hard enough to take care of this shit it isn't my problem, and before you go into it, i have an exxon plant right by my house ((could drive to it in less than 5 minutes)) that was voted one of the top 10 priority of bombings by all those iraqi fuckers...) just find it funny that now-a-days everything that's terrorist related is osama's fault, instead of like the 100's of other terrorist leaders and the millions of other followers who might be working on their own missions under what they consider their 'prophecy'....Quote:

Even though i and many others on here do not believe the official story. We should still honor and remember all those who died that day. The fact that anyone could do something so horrible like that is sickening whethere it was muslim terrorists or not.
p.s. that alan jackson song kind of makes me mad. He is making money off of the deaths of those people. I know he wasnt necessarily trying to but he is.
If what I read was true, Alan Jackson donated the proceeds of the CD with that song on it to 9/11-related charities and funds. That might have been a PR story, of course, but I know a lot of celebrities did indeed give generously after that event. I like to think he didn't profit from that song.
Hi Kiwi. You must be on the other side of the ocean. Still another 50 minutes until 9/11 here. That doesn't matter tho. 9/11 is almost always on my mind.Quote:

So many victims, so many heroes and too many terrorists.:mad I have many boxes of kleenex ready for tomorrow. :(
Did anyone here in the U.S. happen to see "Primetime Live" on ABC this past Thursday night when Diane Sawyer talked to that large group of 9/11 widows and their now 4- or 5-year-old children who were born sometime within the nine months after 9/11?
All the coverage I've seen and heard about 9/11 in recent days has been heartbreaking and has renewed those feelings of grief and anguish I felt during and in the weeks after that event. But that "Primetime Live" piece with the fatherless children, all of whom were just enchanting, made me cover my face and just sob out loud for many minutes afterward. It makes me tear up now just thinking about it again.
to tell you my personal opinoun (most likely i will be flamed for it) but i dont belive it should be a holiday... i dont think there should be alot of holidays... there should be 3 in the american calender... january first... july 4th.... and december 25th.... the rest of them are just made up by ppl who were to lazy to go to fucking work.
I watched it too. Cried like a baby the whole way thru it.:( One little boy told his mom that when she went to bed at night, his dad was in his room watching him thru the night.Quote:

Does anyone else feel like it was last year?
It doesn't feel like 5 years to me. Maybe becuase its always being refreshed in our minds by the news and the war on terror in general....
It’s hard for me to talk about that day.
I can shake the nut jobs who say our own government was in on it. I can shake the planes flying into the buildings, I can shake the towers falling, I can even shake all those that were left behind. The one thing that I cannot shake is remembering exactly how I felt as I stood in the living room with my hand cupped to my mouth and watch live television as mothers, fathers, sons and daughters in New York City jumped from the towers in business suits because they found that to be a better alternative. That I will never forget.
When the Fire Department rescue teams were repeatedly going into the WTC buildings to get people out, there was at least one Catholic chaplain there who was giving out the Last Rites to the Firemen who were Catholic. They knew how dangerous thier job was. 343 Firemen died that day in NYC.
Cheers Kiwi, I'm gonna do my 3 minutes silence to take time remember that fatefull day at 12pm today. To all the haters, look at us now! United with others and even stronger!! I show you all terrosist scum my middle finger, fuck y'all!
Peace and love
Buddy
I remember the day like it was yesterday. Unbelievably i didn't find out until roughly 9pm uk time. (i was home with one buddy playing ps2 all day) I put the radio on and they were talking about it, i didnt know what the WTC was up until then my buddy did so he flicked the T.V onto sky news. The first thing i saw was the planes hitting the towers over and over again. Then they showed the collapse and the very first thing i thought and said was "That dont look right" 5 years on and it seems alot of people also stuggle to believe the official story of the events of that day. Howerver, regardless of who was behind it or what their reasons were people where in thouse buildings when the planes hit and they remained trapped until the towers fell. Apart from the ones who didn't wait around and jumped from certain death to certain death.
If this was Osam it's bad. But if America was behind the slaughter of their own people that makes the whole thing alot more sinister and all you've gotta do to start beleiving that it could of been the Bush Admin is watch the towers fall with common sense enough to realise that they should not of collapsed like that.
This is a day that should be remember and my thoughts, love and best wishes go out to the families and all the people who lost someone or were affected on this day fives years ago.
In memory of all the innocent lives who perished on 9/11, I want everyone to get high as fuck. Agreed?
ill second that motion...
I wish to see nothing relating to the "conspiracy" behind this infamous piece of history. This thread is not to be turned into a Bush hating, anti-Republican Bash-a-thon.
This thread is for condolences and remembrance of the people that died on that day five years ago.
I won't tolerate turning this thread into a Political debate.
Keep that shit in the politics forum please.
Thanks,
Bob.
Smoking a bowl in a moment of silence.

May God bless all of the families that lost loved ones on September 11,2001..and give them the strength and peace,to carry on..and may we never forget their loss. Amen
